Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 244
Kaito, who finally realized what the other party had just said, quickly turned his head to look out the window of the plane, and retorted arrogantly: "Who said I was worried about her? In fact, I didn't call out because Natsumi-san came out to play. That's why I decided to come with myself. Don't go and talk nonsense to Qingzi, I'm afraid of being misunderstood by her..."

Although Kai Dou said so, his somewhat weak voice obviously betrayed his true inner thoughts at the moment.

Regarding Kaito's duplicitous answer, Yoko smiled and shook her head. She deeply felt that there was an obvious generation gap between herself and today's young people. She also mentally compared Kaito with Natsumi and Ishino, and felt that it was still Like my granddaughter and grandson-in-law, it's good to openly say that love comes, unlike today's young people who are really unpredictable in terms of emotions.

However, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Thinking of this, Yangzi no longer struggled, smiled and compromised to Kaito: "Okay, if you say it's not, then it's not. Just treat it as my own random thoughts and nonsense, and I won't do it either." Please feel free to tell Qingzi that you are coming with me."

After saying that, she ignored the other party and lay back on the back of the seat to focus on herself. Kaito, who was standing by him, finally ended this topic that made him extremely embarrassed and embarrassed, and slowly exhaled. Take a breath.

Kaito, who was originally full of curiosity about Yoko, has long since given up on the idea of ​​directly asking for information from the other party. He can't imagine that if the conversation continues like this, he is afraid that his own secret will be lost before he can get out the other party's information. Being stripped naked by the other party.

At this moment, he turned his head and glanced at the beautiful girl who looked about the same age as himself with his peripheral vision. He felt like a little kid facing his elders. The secret he thought he had well hidden was actually as invisible to the other party. He was easily seen through without any defense, and a suppressive force from the depths of his soul made him dare not look directly at the other person.

Of course, through the previous brief exchange, he basically knew that Yangzi should know his mother, and also had a deep cooperative relationship with his brother-in-law and Sister Qinglan, so he should be considered a trustworthy partner for him. .

Thinking of this, Kaito couldn't help but complain in his heart that the Kasaka family is really full of talents, and then he felt that it might be a coincidence that there are only one or two talents in a family, but if they are all good, they must have unique training methods. He is Shouldn't we hang out with each other more and get rid of the family status of "younger brother among younger brothers" as soon as possible?

While Kaito was thinking about how to learn from his brother-in-law, Ishino and Belmode on the other side of the cabin were also discussing in low voices how to place Grace.

"Senior sister, what are you going to do with Grace after you return to Japan?" After turning his attention away from Kaito, Ishino looked at Belmode and asked in a low voice, "If you plan to adopt her, I can help you. Complete the relevant procedures.”

"I do have this idea, so I'm sorry to bother you." Hearing Ishino's question, Belmore shook his head helplessly and said, "I originally wanted to entrust Grace to Natsumi's care, or let her go to the fragrance store. The welfare facilities owned by the Han family are good, but she doesn’t want to do them and just wants to stay with me.”

"I also tried to hint to her that she might be in danger at any time by her side, and I didn't have enough time to accompany and protect her, but this girl said she only believed in me and would stick to me life or death. I had no choice but to agree temporarily."

Hearing Belmode's explanation, Ishino smiled slightly and did not expose the other party's true thoughts. Instead, he nodded very cooperatively and said: "The little girl has just encountered a major change in her life. It is only natural for people to have such thoughts. Then Just let her follow you first. If you have any mission and can't get away, you can always send her to my place to stay for a few days." "I understand this. If necessary, I will let Grace go to your place. After all, Apart from me, she is the only one who is closer to your family." After acknowledging Ishino's words, Bellmode added, "I have cleaned up everything here on this trip back to New York. I won’t be living here again for a long time.”

"Since Grace wants to stay with me, it is inconvenient to continue to stay in hotels, so when I return to Japan, I plan to buy a house near your home and settle down in Japan temporarily. This is also convenient. Arrange Grace’s studies and life.”

After hearing Belmode's plan, Ishino couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and joked: "You have served the organization for so many years. Hasn't the organization arranged a place for you in Tokyo? Do you still need to spend money to buy it yourself?"

"How could it not be, but would you rest assured to let your daughter live there?" Belmore rolled his eyes at Ishino angrily and said, "Although the organization does not monitor and pay attention to the private life of each core member, but The arranged residence is basically public information within the core layer and is a safe house where you can hide under special circumstances, so I don’t want Grace to get too involved with those people.”

"I see. It is indeed much more convenient and safer to find a place by yourself." Ishino was not surprised that Belmode would choose a house near her home. After all, she might often stay for a long time. They had time to go out on missions, and living close would make it easier for them to pay attention to Grace's situation.

In addition, the place where they live now belongs to the wealthy area of ​​Mihuadong. The security and confidentiality level are among the highest in Tokyo. Even the family of Suzuki Shiro, who is almost the richest man in Japan, chose to settle here. This is also what Bellmode knows. Great reasons to choose to settle here.

In addition, Grace is still old enough to go to school. Having Xiaoai and Xiaosaki by her side will make her feel more at ease when she goes to Didan Elementary School. Therefore, considering various factors, Ishino feels that the other party's consideration is the best at present. plan.

After thinking for a while, Ishino looked at Belmore and put forward his suggestion with a serious face: "Senior sister, I know you don't want to involve Grace in danger, but in my opinion, it is better to block it than to carefully hide her." , it might be better to show her relationship with you openly, what do you think?"

Hearing Ishino's suggestion, Belmore frowned and thought about the plan proposed by the other party for a while, and soon showed a sudden expression and smiled: "Not bad, boy, I also figured it out when you said that. The more I conceal it, Once people know about the relationship between me and her, Grace's situation will be even more dangerous."

"But if I put everything out there, the people in the organization will definitely think that Grace is just a pawn that I use to achieve a certain purpose, and the people at the zoo will only think that Grace came here because she was unaccompanied. Go to me, who you have been with for a while. It seems that I am a fan of the authorities, and you are not as clear-eyed as a bystander."
